Findings (MAC III - Administrative Sensitive)

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-233333	High	Forescout that stores device keys must have a key management process that is FIPS-approved and protected by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher algorithms.	The NAC that stores secret or private keys must use FIPS-approved key management technology and processes in the production and control of private/secret cryptographic keys. Private key data is ..
V-233312	High	If a device requesting access fails Forescout policy assessment, Forescout must communicate with other components and the switch to either terminate the session or redirect the endpoint to the remediation subnet.	Endpoints with identified security flaws and weaknesses endanger the network and other devices on it. Isolation or termination prevents traffic from flowing with traffic from endpoints that have ..
V-233311	High	For endpoints that require automated remediation, Forescout must be configured to redirect endpoints to a logically separate VLAN for remediation services.	Automated and manual procedures for remediation for critical security updates will be managed differently. Continuing to assess and remediate endpoints with risks that could endanger the network ..
V-233310	High	Endpoint policy assessment must proceed after the endpoint attempting access has been identified using an approved identification method such as IP address.	Automated policy assessments must reflect the organization's current security policy so entry control decisions will happen only where remote endpoints meet the organization's security ..
V-233315	High	Forescout appliance must not be configured to implement a DHCP layer 3 method for separation or device authorization.	An internal rogue device can still bypass the authentication process, regardless of the policy flow. Configuring the NAC to process all device authentication will ensure that any rogue device, ..
V-233314	High	Forescout must be configured so that all client machines are assessed by Forescout with exceptions that are allowed to bypass Forescout based on account or account type, as approved by the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) and documented in the System Security Plan (SSP).	The NAC gateway provides the policy enforcement allowing or denying the traffic to the network. Unauthorized traffic that bypasses this control presents a risk to the organization's data and ..
V-233318	High	Forescout must place client machines on the blacklist and terminate Forescout agent connection when critical security issues are found that put the network at risk.	If a device communicates outside of its normal required communication, this could be suspect traffic and should be stopped and proper individuals notified immediately.
V-233340	High	When connecting with endpoints, Forescout must validate certificates used for Transport Layer Security (TLS) functions by performing RFC 5280-compliant certification path validation.	A certificate's certification path is the path from the end entity certificate to a trusted root certification authority (CA). Certification path validation is necessary for a relying party to ..
V-233309	High	Forescout must enforce approved access by employing admissions assessment filters that include, at a minimum, device attributes such as type, IP address, resource group, and/or mission conditions as defined in Forescout System Security Plan (SSP).	Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and ..
V-233339	Medium	Forescout must use a bidirectional authentication mechanism configured with a FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to authenticate with the endpoint device.	Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the identity of other devices for connections that are of greater risk. Currently, DoD requires the use of AES for ..
V-233338	Medium	Forescout must deny network connection for endpoints that cannot be authenticated using an approved method.	Without identifying devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Identification failure does not need to result in connection termination or ..
V-233331	Medium	For TLS connections, Forescout must automatically terminate the session when a client certificate is requested and the client does not have a suitable certificate.	In accordance with NIST SP 800-52, the TLS server must terminate the connection with a fatal “handshake failure” alert when a client certificate is requested and the client does not have a ..
V-233330	Medium	Forescout switch module must only allow a maximum of one registered MAC address per access port.	Limiting the number of registered MAC addresses on a switch access port can help prevent a CAM table overflow attack. This type of attack lets an attacker exploit the hardware and memory ..
V-233332	Medium	Forescout must use TLS 1.2, at a minimum, to protect the confidentiality of information passed between the endpoint agent and Forescout for the purposes of client posture assessment.	Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the gateway vulnerable to known and unknown attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in this protocol.
V-233335	Medium	Forescout must generate a log record when the client machine fails policy assessment because required security software is missing or has been deleted.	Generating log records with regard to modules and policies is an important part of maintaining proper cyber hygiene. Keeping and maintaining the logs helps to establish, correlate, and investigate ..
V-233334	Medium	Communications between Forescout endpoint agent and the switch must transmit access authorization information via a protected path using a cryptographic mechanism.	Forescout solution assesses the compliance posture of each client and returns an access decision based on configured security policy. The communications associated with this traffic must be ..
V-233337	Medium	Forescout must perform continuous detection and tracking of endpoint devices attached to the network.	Continuous scanning capabilities on the NAC provide visibility of devices that are connected to the switch ports. The NAC continuously scans networks and monitors the activity of managed and ..
V-233336	Medium	Forescout must be configured with a secondary log server, in case the primary log is unreachable.	It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an ..
V-233313	Medium	Forescout must be configured to notify the user before proceeding with remediation of the user's endpoint device when automated remediation is used.	Connections that bypass established security controls should be allowed only in cases of administrative need. These procedures and use cases must be approved by the Information System Security ..
V-233317	Medium	When devices fail the policy assessment, Forescout must create a record with sufficient detail suitable for forwarding to a remediati
